I've tried 3068 and 3638. IIRC 3068 was a little more subtle in flavor. 3638 was big and bold. Incidentally, my wife loved the 3638 because she digs the banana flavors. But, I liked 3068 because it was a bit more balanced.

WLP300 I used once, earlier this year. The Banana flavor/aroma is very strong, dare I say obnoxious. But it fermented like a champ, and the house smelled great for a few days. No starter, pitched directly. I hate Paulaner, so I can't really comment on that aspect.

Thanks for the link - that is very intersting. I talked with another source that says 3056 is as similar to Pauliner as I'll get and 3333 is a close second. I've use 3068 before but it was for a different beer at a much higher gravity so I don't think it will compare very well.

That's the same strain as Wy3068. If you want to cut the esters, ferment it cool, around 62*F.
